        Nobody thought Trump was going to win until too late. RBG thought the next president would also be a Democrat.

        But she was also naive and thought that she should do her job as long as possible, and that Republicans could be reasoned with. The court really needs a max age.

        Regardless, this is a bit moot, since Trump had 3 total SCOTUS picks. RBG’s seat was just one.

          And once again, we can thank the DNC for sabotaging Bernie to make Hillary the candidate.

          Even better if we just go back to Obama who had all power and was asked to codify abortion rights, and then didn’t. Because it’s a great tool to keep people voting Democrat.
